Fall Break Recruitment Opportunity
It is Recruitment Committee with another email being sent your way! This time, we are promoting Fall Break Recruitment! Fall Break Recruitment is an opportunity for you guys to go back to your high schools and promote teacher education at Appalachian State. This is a very important event and a great way to spread the word about our program here at App State. In order to do this, you need to have an educational organization already in place at your high school (either Teacher Cadets or Future Teachers of America) and have a point person at the school which you can get into contact with (a teacher that runs the organization). Sign ups can be found here and materials for these events can be picked up on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week prior to fall break in the James Center. Whoever is there in the James Center will be able to point you to your materials. Please sign up! This is an amazing way to get the word out about our program and education in general. If you have any questions or concerns please email the Recruitment Committee Chairs.
Thank you,
